The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1375

After Cora left, Cassie noticed a difference in Gamora's facial expression as she walked over to her. This time, her face looked pale and frightened.

"Cassie!" Gamora called her name, then bit her lip, reluctant to utter another word.

Cassie looked at Gamora and asked, "I've tried calling you a few times, but the line wasn't going through. Did something happen? Are you okay?"

Gamora pressed her lips tightly and kept silent. The color from her face had drained and her limbs were heavy and powerless.

"What on earth is the matter with you? Does he know that I called you yesterday?"

Cassie's eyes widened with anticipation.

Eventually, Gamora raised her head slowly, her eyes glazing over like person bereft of all hope. "Cassie, sorry. I'm so sorry. I..."

"Sorry? For what? Don't be sorry. You haven't done anything wrong to me. There's no need to feel guilty."

"The truth is..." Gamora took a deep breath. "The reason you got into trouble with Shawn was because I had showed your picture to them. It was all my fault. I must be out my mind at that time, and I should not have done that."

Cassie was relieved to get an apology from Gamora. She thought that it was not a big deal. She had known that what had happened in the KTV must be related with Gamora, but she had forgiven her already.

"I have known about for some time now," Cassie said calmly.

"What? You knew about it all along?" This time Gamora's eyes widened. But it had more to do with the shock Cassie had given her.

The feeling of guilt over what she had done haunted her thoughts for a long time, but she never expected that Cassie had known about her involvement the whole time.

"Gamora, I don't blame you for what you did. I hope that you stop feeling guilty about it. In fact, unknowingly, you ended up saving me this time. But you should be careful of those people. Good isn't a word I will use to describe them. You would be better off staying away from them," Cassie suggested with deep sincerity.

Gamora nodded once and then muttered in a low voice, "I've been thinking about leaving them, but... I don't think they will let me go so easily."

"Anyway, you should watch out for yourself. Have you had lunch by the way? Would you like to grab some lunch with me?" Cassie asked, quickly averting the subject.

Gamora shook her head and said, "No, I can't. I just sneaked out secretly. And you'd better not call me unless it is something important. I'm afraid that Shawn will stir up trouble again if he finds out. By the way, last night, the police almost caught his men. And there is something unlawful with his business in Vietnam. He'll be too busy with those things to bother about you."

"I'm glad to hear that. Thanks for telling me. Be careful and I wish you good luck," Cassie assured Gamora.

"I... So, are we still going to be friends in the future?" Gamora couldn't help but ask.

"Of course!" Cassie nodded her head, and gave her a warm, heartfelt smile.

Gamora smiled back, stretching her arms out to hug Cassie before she turned around to leave.

Cassie got lost in deep thought as she watched Gamora walking away.
